I've heard alot of people say they don't rely on a light attached to their gun because they end up flagging everyone when illuminating with the weapon light. Thereby breaking one of the first tenets of gun safety. Can you please do a video discussing it? I wanna hear your thoughts.
Gun guys can't fight, that's why they buy a black Dodge RAM for close quarters combat and to drive around drunk in. You were a police officer so this description probably gives you loving memories of your coworkers.
Ima tell why "that noise" makes me laugh. I took a bit of grappling back in 2012 when I thought I wanted to fight MMA. As always it starts off really fun. But on one occasion, I was sparring a guy who had a big weight advantage over me. Even though we were sparring, in an actual gym, under a controlled manner. I ended up gassed, on my back and feeling very helpless and discouraged….Im a person that HATES biting! I think its absolutely disgusting and cheap. But in that very helpless moment of this big S.O.B on top of me…I WANTED TO BITE THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!😅 Point being, that its stressful enough ASSUMING what you think your opposition is capable of. Karate, Boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, or GUN-Jitsu! Take some time to practice being in these unpredictable and stressful situations. To be SAFE in the KNOWLEDGE of what your capable of! I swear dude when he made that noise. I can immediately picture some Alpha male, ego driven, gun toting type. Getting a necessary slice of humble pie😌 Keep doing that thing ya do Unkle Mikey💪🏾
I’m about the same size as Mike. I’m 69 years old and wrestled and played football in high school. In my 30s I studied karate. All of that is helpful but at my age and with some age related health issues, there is little doubt that even a simple attack would be devastating to me. I carry and I’m extremely cautious and attentive to my surroundings because that’s about all I’m capable of doing at this point. Luckily, most people around me are so self absorbed I just have to avoid being a target most of the time.
Situational awareness is key and with situations that involve guns almost every time it’s between 6-7 yards… so… yes grappling is essential to self defense but you’re reaching here acting like gun owners won’t blow your lights out just because you know some grappling 😂 been studying mma for over 20+ years… most people who are armed usually have decent situational awareness and won’t bother engaging into a hand to hand combat situation before drawing they will more than likely draw far before, this is why the average 6-7 yard statistics exists. This is why most officers don’t get their guns taken because they’re not grappling with suspects 🤦🏻♂️ and it is a magic talisman it can end you with one button. Do better. You’re border line encouraging people at gun point to grapple their way out of it 🤦🏻♂️
Let's talk realistically… How many are shot dead each year with guns and no 'grappling' was needed? You may hear of a few cases were people did grapple over the gun but 95% of the time the guy with the gun SHOT THE OTHER ONE DEAD… Just go to the NRA magazine and look up 'The Armed Citizen' were tons of people use guns to defend themselves and I doubt many of them are into martial arts… BTW I am 'into' martial arts (5th Dan WTF) and Class A IPSC/Expert IDPA. Love 'em both but most times if the other person is alert and have the gun ready… they just shoot the other person dead.
Real talk though, when gun nerds say "i use my gun fu" I actually think they should take it a step further and do entire classes and sparring based on what your doing. And than name the school "gun fu"
Just literally an entire class dedicated to using grappling or striking to get people off you, so you can get position advantage to draw your gun. Id legit pay for that lol.
1st part of the class can be dedicated to shooting 2nd part can be dedicated to clinch work 3rd part coach makes up a scenario people try it out 4th part, literally what your doing as live sparring
Feels like this is what krav maga is SUPPOSE to be lol
We trained with water guns, get wet, got shot. The dynamics change when people are trying to shoot you while you're focused on the gun rather than what's coming out of it.
One of my favorite MACP drills was standing 15-20 feet apart and trying to draw a pistol on someone before they bumrushed you. FAR more often than not they closed the distance before you could draw and bring that weapon to bear on them. Only thing that worked was taking a BIG step back when drawing your weapon and even then it was about 50/50.
“You’ve got a 50/50 chance of failing at self defense, or succeeding…at murder.” That’s brilliant. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words better than I can.
as an avid gun guy, and someone who carries every day, force-on-force is the most important skill to train, bcs you can't miss from self-defense distances, but you can lose your gun

I knew the two noises he was talking about as soon as he mentioned it.

Says the guy that thinks a bitch light will save his life.
I knew what that sound was going to be right after he mentioned it in the beginning. That sound is what Mike Tyson calls "woman gestures."

You’re still not selling me when it comes to choosing hand to hand combat vs just carrying my Glock on me
that was f*cking great when he threw the gun at the two guys on the mat. "It changes the game" more true words.

I can't say enough just how right Mike is.
Worse than knife guys in my experience…but it is CLOSE.

Another great video. I would have thrown a few punches, knees and elbows in there while grappling.

Pause at 7:36 for two bros being dudes.
Right now I don't carry, so yeah I choose martial arts.
I can so see the neighbours watching outside ”the crazy guy is again wrestling outside”
